Remembrance Day honoured through ceremonies at County Hall and Ruthin War Memorial

People from across Denbighshire gathered to mark Remembrance Day at ceremonies in Ruthin, honouring those who have lost their lives in conflict.

The commemorations began with a flag-raising ceremony outside County Hall, where attendees gathered to reflect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

Following the County Hall ceremony, commemorations continued at the Ruthin War Memorial, where a well-attended ceremony took place which included addresses from civic leaders, the sounding of the Last Post and a two-minute silence, providing an opportunity for those attending to pay their respects to members of the armed forces, past and present.

Vice Chair of Denbighshire County Council, Cllr Peter Scott, said: “It was encouraging to see so many people come together today to pay their respects. Remembrance Day gives us an important opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by servicemen and women, past and present, and to ensure their legacy is never forgotten.”

Deputy Mayor of Ruthin, Cllr Anne Roberts, added: “The turnout at today's commemoration was a fitting tribute to those who served and sacrificed. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a respectful and meaningful occasion.”

As communities across the county paused to remember, those attending reflected on the courage, service and sacrifice of generations of armed forces personnel and their families. The ceremonies formed part of Denbighshire's annual observance of Remembrance Day, ensuring that their contribution continues to be honoured and remembered.
